Have you tried starting in ‘Safe Mode’ and run ‘virus scan’ or ‘system restore’..?

Can you change the BIOS to boot from CD/DVD and then boot from the XP operating system disc ?

Thanks Bovine i’m gonna check it out

you could either put in a windows installation cd in and tell your computer to boot from the cd drive and either re install windows or possibly repair it.  If that does not work then you are looking at purchasing a new HDD to replace the one that just got fried and then you will have to install windows again.  Then again if you are running a dinosaur then you might look into building your own new computer or buy a cheap old piece of preloaded shit from best buy or comp usa. If you are a Brit then i dont know where you would buy a new pc

Yep but I’m leaving this as last resot cus reinstalling windows is a pain in the as, besides if it’s a virus i’ll have to delete everything and i seriouly don’t want to

Hi mate just so happens I can help you.

Go to http://www.sophos.com

Then search for the name they will give you a download for a program called sav32cli
then download the relavent ide’s and burn them to disc,
start the PC as though you want to start it in Safe mode, but choose command prompt.

Browse to the cd and run the program.

It may take a whit but it should work.

All the instructions are on the site aswell.

incase you dont know Sophos is a major anti virus program alot of industry use. I install it all the time for customers and I must admit it is pretty good.

If you need anymore help PM me I will try

Spaceworm

Thanks spaceworm I’m downloding! i hope it works!!

Miss teddy i know its him! but i wont hide just yet!!!

You should be able to boot up the XP disc from the BIOS and ‘repair’...rather than re-install...everything stays the same and you dont lose anything…

Detailed instructions on how to do it is on Google…

Well guys if anyone have this problem.. the winning answer was spaceworm’s unfortunatly i had rebboted my pc so many times that somehow the virus fucked up the windows core so i had to format it.. so if you have it so do what the mr worm said right away and you should be just fine
